This is a tale of twofriends --- one is blind, the other has no arms. On their own, the two are“disabled”. But together, they are a powerful team that has changed part oftheir village in North China’s Hebei Province into a rich, green forest. Meet53-year-old Jia Haixia and Jia Wenqi!
Their story began in 2000, when Haixia,who was already blind in his right eye, lost his left one after an illness.Wenqi lost his arms in an accident when he was just three. Neither could find ajob, so the two decided to team up. They rented some poor land and began toplant trees. In return, the local officials paid them a small fee.
Haixia and Wenqi never imaginedthat they would end up creating an environmental paradise. Their forest now hasover 10,000 trees, hundreds of birds and many other wild animals. In addition,it saves the village from river flooding during the rainy season.
When the friends worktogether, they focus on their strengths not their disabilities. Their daybegins at 7 a.m. when the sightless Haixia carries Wenqi across the river toget to their worksite. Since they cannot afford to buy young trees to plant,the two use branches from existing trees. Haixia climbs to the tree-top andwith Wenqi’s direction, selects the perfect branch. He then digs a hole andcarefully plants it. Finally Wenqi waters the area.
Thoughhard-working, the men don’t make much money. But as Wenqi puts it, “We stand onour own feet, so the fruits of our work taste sweeter.” Neither Haixia norWenqi cares about money.

Most of uscould probably live without vegetables, but a world without chocolate? Now thatwould be hard! According to chocolate makers it could happen if we don’t actsoon.
There are two main causesof the chocolate shortage---chocolate’s growing popularity and less productionof cocoa, the plant from which chocolate is made. With more and more people inIndia and China loving chocolate, not much can be done about the first cause.
Therefore, the only thingwe can do is to increase cocoa production. However, new plant diseases andlittle rain in Ivory Coast and Ghana, the world’s largest producers, havereduced cocoa production by 40 percent in the past 10 years. What’s worse, manycocoa farmers in Africa and other cocoa-producing countries like Indonesia andVenezuela are changing to easier-to-grow crops such as corn or rubber. Thisway, the farmers can make more money.
To prevent more farmersfrom changing, researchers at the newly opened International Cocoa ControlCentre, in the UK, are trying to create new cocoa plants that are stronger andfaster growing. But first they must make sure the new plants are safe to grow.This takes a long time.
First, each new plant isstored at the Control Centre for six months to make sure it is healthy. It isthen planted in the Centre’s fields, studied and tested for another two years.Only after scientists are certain that they’re disease-free, will the plants besent to farmers in West Africa or wherever else they are needed.
To create new strongertypes of cocoa, scientists at the Centre are combining the best parts fromdifferent cocoa plants. Though the world is facing a serious chocolateshortage, there is now hope!

【参考范文1】Studentsin our school are free to choose some special courses according to theirinterest. Students who want to have strong bodies as well as develop theirteamwork spirit can choose to attend the football course because this courseencourages students to work together. Those who look for a chance to practicetheir oral English can attend the English drama course. What’s more, it willprovide them chances to act out some interesting plays. Besides, for those whowant to know more about science and increase their interest, we will also havea model making course.
In my opinion, Istrongly suggest that we should have an International course as well. It is agood opportunity for us to broaden our horizons and I think it is a good chanceto improve our foreign language skills.
【参考范文2】Studentsin our school are free to choose some special courses according to theirinterest. First of all, the football course is the best choice if you likeplaying football. When you play football, you can take regular exercise andbuild up your body. At the same time, playing football can develop yourteamwork spirit because you can learn how to help each other.
What’s more,English play course is a good choice for the students who like English. In theclass, it is a good chance for the students to learn acting and improve oralEnglish. If you want to develop an interest in science, you’d better choosemodel making course. When you make some models, you can learn more about the science.
In my opinion,we should have a reading course as well, because we can learn plenty ofknowledge from books. If we read more books, we will become smarter andsmarter.
